Here’s another update from the development of our science fiction game, Beyond the Gates of Antares, written by none other than Rick Priestley. Firstly we have the fully painted command squad for the Algoryn Armoured Infantry. An entirely new set of 3D renders for the game now – the troopers forming the squads of the…
The military of the Panhuman Concord is organised and directed by a branch of the IMTel called the Concord Combined Command – otherwise known as CoCom or more commonly as C3. The Concord responds to threats against it with logical ruthlessness, organising and dispatching heavily armed forces throughout Antarean space. The Concord armed forces are…
The ruling elites of this society are New Humans or NuHu. Hyper-intelligent, tall, and eerily androgynous, the NuHu are the undisputed Mandarins of the Panhuman Concord. They are very few in number and spread thinly amongst the vast population of the Concord. What makes the NuHu different from other humans is that they have co-evolved…

Drop troops are the most heavily armoured and armed of the Concord Combined Command’s Strike forces. Their role is to spearhead assaults onto enemy held planets, and capture and hold objectives without the support of conventional heavy equipment. For this reason Drop Squads are heavily armed with powerful plasma weaponry including the ferocious plasma lance,…

Drones have a sense of identity and personality, although some have only rudimentary or narrowly focussed characters depending on their role. Concord Weapon Drones are usually employed to carry support or heavy weapons. They are propelled…

An X-launcher is a portable magnetic launcher that hurls explosive missiles, bombs or special munitions packages, such as Arc, Blur, Scramble, and Scoot. They are bulky weapons, and their regular explosive ammunition resists full compression due to the charge. They are of limited value on the battlefield unless they can be emplaced or set-up in…
In a war-torn universe advanced human societies are bound in a bitter struggle for control of inter-dimensional gateways between worlds – the Gates of Antares. It is a war fought across a million planets and in the depths of space. It is a war that has raged for thousands of years. Now it is a…
Probes are small hovering unarmed drones surrounded by a cloud of nanobots. They are simple machines with limited and specific intelligence. Targeter probes exude nanobots that feed information back to the parent probe, which in turn sends its nanobots to nearby friendly units, where they feed information into the unit’s combat shard. As spies in…
